Infineon announced source-down packaged power mosfets earlier today in which it flipped the die to improve transistor performance. Alongside the part announcement it released a diagram and its reasons for what it did. The source-down mosfet is on the right, and the more conventional device on the left. According to Infineon: The source-down package (1) is ...
